Okay, I am trying to send a resume through e-mail. Right now, I have the resume saved on MS Word. But when I copy and paste it, and send it to myself to make sure it looks right, the text is all over the place.
What can I do?

You can do it in two ways.
1. If your resume text is richly formatted (but I won't recommend sending an overtly decorative one) and want to send it just like that, don't copy the text onto your mail. Attach the file (look for a button or link named 'Attach' in your Compose Mail webpage) and send it, mentioning that the resume is attached in the mail. But I have heard that most employers don't like attachments.
2. Open the Word document, select the whole text (press Ctrl+A) and copy it (press Ctrl+C). Open notepad, paste (press Ctrl+V) the copied text onto it. If your text has minor formatting problems like displaced characters etc., manually correct them. Turn 'Word Wrap' off (Format>Word Wrap) and again select the whole text from the window, copy and paste it onto the body of your e-mail. But your text won't have any formatting like bold letters etc.

This is probably true because your e-mail software is not as "sophisticated" as MS Word, it and deletes the special formating that MS Word applies to documents. Immediately, I can think of 2 solutions:
1. Attach your resume as a file to your e-mail.
2. Copy and paste your resume as you currently tried, then format it with spaces, etc. within your e-mail environment.
I hope this helps.

Since they will not accept attachments, you're very limited. MS word formatting is far different than your email client. About the only thing you can do is retype the resume in the email directly, but that is no gurantee that when they print it out on their end it will look correctly. email clients are like that, thats why most peope send in an attachment.

Attach the resume as a separate file.

1. Click on the 'File' menu at the top of the screen
2. Select the 'Send to' Menu (another menu should then pop up).
3. Instead of selecting 'Send to Mail Recipient (As Attachment)' select 'Send to Mail Recipient'
This will put the document directly on the e-mail instead of attaching it.

No attachments? There is not one acceptable reason for not allowing resumes to be sent as attachments.

Save it as a .txt file. Re-open the file in Notepad and adjust any formating you need to. Then copy/paste it to the e-mail.
